INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine months ended

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020

Financial review for the nine months ended September 30, 2020

ComBank posts steady results amidst the impacts of the pandemic

Group’s Operating income up 11.84% to Rs 55.818 billion

Gains from Treasury Investments, foreign exchange activities help cushion impact of COVID-

19 on profits

Impairment provisions up 95.83% to Rs 16.733 billion

Operating cost escalation curtailed to 2.52%

Gains from government securities, foreign exchange (FX) swap trading and FX trading activities have

enabled the Commercial Bank of Ceylon Group to mitigate to some extent the severity of the impacts

of the COVID-19 pandemic on profits in a period of reduced interest income and substantially higher

impairment provisioning compared to the corresponding quarter of the last year.

The Group, comprising of Sri Lanka’s benchmark private bank, its subsidiaries and an associate, has

reported total operating income of Rs 55.818 billion for the nine months ending 30th September 2020,

achieving a growth of 11.84% mainly by more than doubling other income for the period from Rs 5.804

billion to Rs 12.262 billion, even though net interest income, the largest component, only improved

by a marginal 1.02% to Rs 36.796 billion.

Financial statements filed with the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) show that the capital gains on

Treasury investments generated a net gain of Rs 4.658 billion on de-recognition of financial assets,

more than a 10-fold increase over the Rs 444.754 million for the corresponding nine months of last

year; that mark to market gains on Treasury Bills and Bonds enabled a conversion of a net loss of Rs

294.249 million on trading to a net gain of Rs 749.059 million for the nine months, and that exchange

profit grew by 25.2% to Rs 6.586 billion from FX swap trading and other foreign exchange trading

activities as well as translation gains on the Bank’s US Dollar reserves due to an approximately 2%

depreciation of the Rupee against the Dollar in the period under review.

With interest rates coming down, the Group was able to reduce interest expenses by 7.70% to Rs

56.240 billion in a period when interest income declined by 4.44% to Rs 93.035 billion, mainly due to

modification losses on interest concessions granted as pandemic relief to borrowers, the Bank

reported. Consequently, the achievement of a 1.02% improvement in net interest income at the end

of nine months is noteworthy, considering that net interest income had declined by 5.71% at the end

of the first half of the year. The turnaround was made possible by a 14.26% increase in net interest

income in the third quarter alone.

Meanwhile, net fees and commissions had reduced by 11.97% for the nine months to Rs 6.760 billion

as a result of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on trade related activities

and the reduction of fees and charges by the Bank as required by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL).

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka had announced another pandemic-linked moratorium for borrowers

after the Bank’s nine-month accounts were finalised. As the impact of these additional concessions is

yet to be known it would be brought to the financial statements of the final quarter, the Bank said.

The impact of higher impairment charges and pandemic-linked concessions already granted to

borrowers resulted in the Group’s operating profit before taxes on financial services for the nine

months reducing by 12.42% to Rs 19.452 billion. Meanwhile, taxes on financial services declined by

44.11% to Rs 3.060 billion due to the abolition of the Debt Repayment Levy (DRL) and Nation Building

Tax (NBT) from January 2020 and December 2019 respectively.

Consequently, profit before income tax recorded a decline of 2.10% over the corresponding period to

total Rs 16.394 billion. The Group’s income tax charge for the period, at Rs 5.219 billion, was marginally

down by 0.15% while net profit at Rs 11.175 billion for the nine months reviewed, reflected a reduction

of 2.98%.

Taken separately, the Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC reported a profit before tax of Rs 15.566 billion

for the nine months, a decline of 4.43% and profit after tax of Rs 10.595 billion, a reduction of 5.60%.

Total assets of the Group grew by Rs 254.143 billion or 18.04% since 31st December 2019 to Rs 1.663

trillion as at 30th September 2020. Asset growth over the preceding 12 months was Rs 292.730 billion

or 21.36% YoY.

Gross loans and advances of the Group grew by Rs 18.935 billion or 2.03% since end 2019 to Rs

949.672 billion at the end of the nine months reviewed. This includes loans of approximately Rs 20

billion granted to COVID-19 affected businesses. The growth of the loan book of the Group over the

preceding year was Rs 49.554 billion, reflecting YoY growth of 5.51%.

Total deposits of the Group recorded a noteworthy growth of Rs 152.774 billion or 14.29% over the

nine months at a monthly average of Rs 16.975 billion to stand at Rs 1.222 trillion as at 30th September

2020. Deposit growth of the Group since 30th September 2019 was Rs 174.619 billion or 16.68% at a

monthly average of Rs 14.551 billion.

In other key indicators, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) stood at 12.161% as at 30th

September 2020, prior to the infusion of US$ 50 million via an equity investment by the International

Finance Corporation (IFC) Group in October. The Bank’s Tier I CAR even before the IFC investment was

well above the revised minimum requirement of 9% imposed by the regulator consequent to the

COVID-19 pandemic, while its Total Capital Ratio of 15.951% was also comfortably above the revised

requirement of 13%.

The Bank’s gross NPL ratio increased to 5.20% from 4.95% at end 2019 while its net NPL ratio increased

marginally to 3.04% from 3.00%. The Bank’s interest margin recorded a nominal increase from 3.04%

for the six months to 3.17% for the nine months but was lower than the 3.51% at end December 2019.

Return on assets (before tax) and return on equity stood at 1.37% and 10.28% respectively for the

period ended 30th September 2020 compared to 1.66% and 13.54% for the year 2019.

At the forefront as a contributor to the national economy for many decades, the Commercial Bank has

been a driving force in economic recovery in the post-pandemic period, leading the private banks in

granting working capital loans and providing concessions to affected businesses. The Bank has

grouped 11 different programmes being implemented for affected businesses and individuals under

the umbrella of the ‘Arunella’ Financial Support Scheme and extended these relief programmes

beyond the mandated debt moratorium. These concessions included flexible payment options, up to

20% rebates on accrued interest during the moratorium periods, extension of moratorium periods for

up to another six months, further reductions on Credit Card repayments and applicable interest rates,

and Debt Consolidation Plans.

The first Sri Lankan Bank to be listed among the Top 1000 Banks of the World and the only Sri Lankan

bank to be so listed for ten years consecutively, Commercial Bank is celebrating its 100th anniversary

this year. The Bank, which won more than 50 international and local awards in 2019, operates a

network of 268 branches and 875 ATMs in Sri Lanka.

Commercial Bank’s overseas operations encompass Bangladesh, where the Bank operates 19 outlets;

Myanmar, where it has a Microfinance company in Nay Pyi Taw; and the Maldives, where the Bank

has a fully-fledged Tier I Bank with a majority stake.

If the above proposal was considered, the impact to the Income Statement for the period ended September 30, 2020 would be an Income Tax reversal of Rs. 5.012 Mn.(reversal of

Rs. 802.003 Mn from Income Tax payable and a Deferred Tax expense of Rs. 796.991 Mn).

EXPLANATORY NOTES

There were no changes to the Accounting Policies and methods of computation since the publication of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than those

disclosed under items 4 to 6.

These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard - LKAS 34 on 'Interim Financial Reporting' and

provide the information as required in terms of Rule 7.4 of the Colombo Stock Exchange.

Amendments to the Income Tax Law Announced by the Government

As per notice dated April 08, 2020 issued by the Inland Revenue Department on “Implementation of Proposed Changes to the Inland Revenue Act No. 24 of 2017”, effective from

January 01, 2020;

Corporate Income Tax rate was revised from 28% to 24%. However, such revisions were not considered in computing the income tax liabilities, pending legal enactment and

formal amendments to the Inland Revenue Act.

There were no material events that took place since September 30, 2020, that require disclosure in these Interim Financial Statements other than those disclosed above.

Further, the impact to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income would be a Deferred tax reversal of Rs. 433.519 Mn.

Exemption announced as per the aforementioned notice on interest income from Sri Lanka Development Bonds, effective from April 01, 2018 was availed by the Bank. However,

other exemptions eligible to be claimed effective from January 01, 2020, were not considered in computing the income tax liability as at September 30, 2020, pending legal

enactment and formal amendments to the Inland Revenue Act.

Impact due to the COVID–19

The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused disruption to business and economic activities, and uncertainty to the global and local economy. Subsequent to the outbreak of COVID-19 in

Sri Lanka, the Bank has strictly adhered to the guidelines and directions issued by both Government and Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) when conducting its business operations.

Further, the Bank has provided reliefs for the affected businesses and individuals in line with the directions issued by the CBSL. These relief measures include deferment of

repayment terms of credit facilities, offering concessionary rates of interest to eligible loan products (debt moratorium) and waiving off certain fees and charges.

The impact of the COVID-19 on the loans and advances portfolio of the Bank has been assessed and adjusted in these Interim Financial Statements based on the available

information and assumptions made as at reporting date in line with the guidelines issued by the CBSL and the CA Sri Lanka. However, the actual losses may differ depending on

how borrowers avail the moratorium.

Reclassification of Sri Lanka Sovereign Bonds

The Bank reclassified part of its Sri Lanka Sovereign Bond (SLSB) Portfolio amounting to USD 171.750 Mn. from Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) to

Amortized Cost, as a result of changes to the business model of managing the assets with effect from July 1, 2020, in line with the guidelines issued by the CA Sri Lanka on

Accounting Consideration with the COVID-19 Outbreak. There was no change to the effective interest rate used and interest income recognized o/a reclassified SLSB Portfolio for

the period under review.

Impairment Provision

The Bank decided to increase the weightages assigned for worst case scenario by 20% while reducing the weightages assigned for base case scenario and best case scenario by

10%, each respectively when assessing the probability weighted forward looking macro-economic indicators with the objective of capturing the impact of COVID-19 on the ECL
